THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING -
GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

The drive failed within 14 days of recieving it. It was not well packaged, but one could only speculate that this had anything to do with it. Even after reading the negative reviews on this product I decided to buy it anyways because of the price. Now however I realize it's not worth the hasle, your data is worth more. Long story short, if you buy this drive buy two so you can have a copy of your data.

WARNING!!!! The new version of this hard drive is junk and will not work in external enclosures. If you get MDL: WD15EADS-00P8B0 send it back. Too bad we just ordered 2 to go along with an EZ-Dock 2. I can't put a link but you can search WD's forum for more information on the problem.

Worked for about 10 days connected to a Mini ITX motherboard. Ran ok for a while, was never fast, then slowed down to a crawl, then would not boot saying a problem was detected on the hard drive. RA'd.
